As part of a mussel survey and relocation project, biologists at Holland Engineering completed snorkel surveys of the Huron River in metro Detroit. Due to the new mussel protocol requirements and tight project deadlines, this project had to be completed quickly and efficiently.

In 2018, experts from the USFWS, MDEQ, MDNR, MNFI, and MDOT produced the Michigan Freshwater Mussel Survey Protocols and Relocation Procedures, which goes into effect immediately. The document details the required procedures for surveying, handling, and relocating mussels.

Holland Engineering Biologist, Larissa Herrera, volunteered for the Cordova Mussel Event in Cordova, Illinois this summer. The event is sponsored by the US Army Corps of Engineers and has been taking place for over 15 years.
